How did this forest theme start? Just curious. If you old be a critter what would you be?

I don't have much planned for the weekend. The local street fair is tomorrow so we usually take a walk thru. Then I need to finish up a pin cushion and needle book for a swap due May 1 st, I'm cutting it close!

Good Morning--the weekend is Here! A quick trip to the grocery store and then I get to wait until my specials guests arrive this afternoon. I cannot wait!

I am not sure how much I will be online from now until Monday night as we have quite a few things packed into the next few days--a fish fry tonight, stamp camp class tomorrow, a trip to Creative Pals, eating out at Motor-the restaurant at the Harley-Davidson Museum, a tour of Sprecher Brewery and then a mini shoe-box swap on Monday when Jeanette is able to join us. A Busy Time Ahead--but I Love It!

I think Jeanette mentioned earlier in this swap how the theme started. It is from her SCS name and she had been a swapper for quite awhile when a number of us told her she needed to host a swap too. The first one was in May of 09 (I looked it up from the threads she hosted) and it was just called the "Forest Swap"--anything you would find in the forest. The themes from that point on were suggested by the swappers--like winter wonderland, paradise in the forest, forest friends, etc. She is an awesome hostess! Yes, I said that as I will see her in person in a few days and need to be nice!

This weekend is busy for me. Today, I need to go to Kohl's to pick up a wedding gift and Chris a new belt. Then, we are going to one of my co-worker's wedding on Saturday. Sunday, I am attending my up-line's stamp camp. Somewhere in there I need to finish up two projects for my physio class.

I don't know what to doooooo!!! Grumpy is cleaning up his first apartment today...I wanna be mom and help...but I wanna be mom and let him gain his experience...I know I am just 7 minutes away....but ....who should I be?????

there is a story about the name also......her daughter taught here in my town for several years and when Jeanette came to visit a fun story was told----but I will leave it to Jeanette to share that with all.

and if I had to pick a forest critter to be......it would be hard......bluejays are my favorite bird so it could be that, or mice are my favorite little critter so it could be that---and I am fascinated by rattlesnakes( who basically don't live in the forest) so it could be that also.

Just checking in. We are going to a wedding this afternoon but I got some crafting time this morning. I completed a set of card candy for the really big card candy swap. I think that was the first time I've ever used my Easter cricut cartridge.

I still need to finish up one project for school but it shouldn't take very long. I work better in the evening and night than during the day so I will wait until around the boys' bedtime to even start on that. I am SOOOO ready for this semester to be over!

Off to see my GD and a bunch of her friends as tonight is senior prom. This year sure went fast for me can't believe she is graduating. I got some house cleaning done and of course laundry. Hope everyone is having a fun day.

We had the t tops off today and went to our local street fair, then to an art festival a few towns away. We ate lunch el fresco, then had ice cream at the purple cow. Black raspberry and chocolate. It was yummy! Dh wants to go out for dinner. It's been an exhausting day but fun. We still like to ride around listening to loud music .
